BRYAN Robson is looking for more record-breakers - as Albion try to end 53 years of hurt at Middlesbrough.

The Baggies have not won on Teesside in 18 attempts, their last victory being a 1-0 win in February 1952 when George Lee grabbed the only goal.

Last weekend's 4-0 win against Everton was Albion's best Premiership win.

Since Robson's appointment 12 months ago, Albion have broken a number of records --notably becoming the first Premiership club to survive after being bottom at Christmas.

Rob Earnshaw also became the first Baggies player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League in last season's 4-1 win at Charlton, which remains their best away win in the division.

Robson is now hoping Albion can break their Riverside hoodoo against his former club on Sunday.

"After last weekend's result hopefully things will be promising for all of us now," said Robson.

"Last Saturday was how I know we can play but we must do that week in, week out and not just in one-off games.

"It was a record win in the Premiership and that's what I want my players to do - break records.

"They are there to be broken. Players should take that on board, take pleasure in breaking those records and take pride in doing something that hasn't been done before. It's a great challenge for the players.

"Everton is gone now. It was a great performance, the lads know that they've done well and now it's all about Middlesbrough.

"We know we can we go and get another great result and performance up there."

Albion will be aiming to make the most of Middlesbrough's long journey back from tonight's game against Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

But Robson will be wary of last season's game when his side lost 4-0, despite dominating the opening exchanges.
